sec^2((11pi)/6)

Solution

sec^{2} (\frac{11 π}{6})

Solution

\frac{4}{3}

Decimal Notation

1.33333 \dots

Solution steps

sec^{2} (\frac{11 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan^{2} (\frac{5 π}{6}) + 1

sec^{2} (\frac{11 π}{6})

Use the Pythagorean identity:

sec^{2} (x) = tan^{2} (x) + 1

= tan^{2} (\frac{11 π}{6}) + 1

tan (\frac{11 π}{6}) = tan (\frac{5 π}{6})

tan (\frac{11 π}{6})

Rewrite

\frac{11 π}{6}

π + \frac{5 π}{6}

= tan (π + \frac{5 π}{6})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + π) = tan (x)

tan (π + \frac{5 π}{6}) = tan (\frac{5 π}{6})

= tan (\frac{5 π}{6})

= tan^{2} (\frac{5 π}{6}) + 1

= tan^{2} (\frac{5 π}{6}) + 1

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (\frac{5 π}{6}) = - \frac{3}{3}

tan (\frac{5 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}{cos ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

tan (\frac{5 π}{6})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}{cos ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}{cos ( \frac{5 π}{6} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

sin (x)

= \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{5 π}{6})

= - \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{- \frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{- \frac{3}{2}} : - \frac{3}{3}

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{- \frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 3}

Refine

= - \frac{2}{2 3}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{3}

Rationalize

- \frac{1}{3} : - \frac{3}{3}

- \frac{1}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3 3}

1 \cdot 3 = 3

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= - \frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{3}{3}

= (- \frac{3}{3})^{2} + 1

Simplify

(- \frac{3}{3})^{2} + 1 : \frac{4}{3}

(- \frac{3}{3})^{2} + 1

(- \frac{3}{3})^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

(- \frac{3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- \frac{3}{3})^{2} = (\frac{3}{3})^{2}

= (\frac{3}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 3 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{3}{3 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{1}{3}

= \frac{1}{3} + 1

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3}

= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3} + \frac{1}{3}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 3 + 1}{3}

1 \cdot 3 + 1 = 4

1 \cdot 3 + 1

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 3 = 3

= 3 + 1

Add the numbers:

3 + 1 = 4

= 4

= \frac{4}{3}

= \frac{4}{3}
